Comparative Analysis of Multi-omic Integration Approaches for Tumor Subtype Classification: A Systematic Literature Review
摘要
Background: Multi-omic integration drives cancer subtyping, therapy outcome prediction, and personalised treatment. This review examines advanced integration approaches and their applications in oncology. Methods: We analysed 20 studies published between 2019 and 2024, categorised into early, intermediate and late integration approaches. Datasets include RNA-Seq, DNA methylation, miRNA-Seq, protein expression and CNV data. Results: Intermediate integration (75%) using autoencoders and graph networks achieved AUCs >0.95; early (15%) is simpler but limited by heterogeneity; late (10%) enabled NSCLC diagnosis (F1: 96.8%, AUC: 0.993), with challenges in heterogeneity, computation, and standardisation. Conclusion: Intermediate integration ensures robustness; late integration suits multi-scale data; addressing challenges is key to clinical adoption.
